Official nixers.net gopher space
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

I recently came back into the gopherspace, and wanted to bring more
people
with me this time, so I have other people to discuss that with. To
achieve
that, I built a new server (xaero.z3bra.org) to host a gopherspace for
the
nixers.net community.

I hope we'll also see cool contributions to the gopherspace from the
members, as a bunch of people were curious about gopher, without knowing
how to get started with it.

The gopher hole is accessible here:

   gopher://g.nixers.net

If you want an account, feel free to contact me, and perhaps join the
nixers.net forums [0], you'll be welcome !

This is the second time I build a multi-user machine, so I'm still
learning how to configure a host that might be accessed by "strangers".

This community is small, so I doubt I'll encounter any hostile behavior
from the users. However, I'd still like to learn how to properly
configure
those remote access, and limit their resources. Guess I'll have to read
that scary login.conf(5) after all…

I hope I'll manage to keep the system clean, and under control. It's
currently managed with drist(1) (thanks again, solene !). But I'd like
to
make it more like a gateway were people can connect to access more
stuff,
like the yggdrasil or dn42 network. I'll see what people are interested
in.

Wish me luck !
